"Let it never be forgotten that glamour is not greatness; applause is not fame; prominence is not eminence. The man of the hour is not apt to be the man of the ages. A stone may sparkle, but that does not make it a diamond. A man may have money, but that does not make him a success."

"It is okay to be wrong every now and then. Being right all the time comes from the EGO, knowing that you are wrong or that you need to change comes from the heart and soul. Wouldn't you rather others be treated with respect from your heart and soul?"
Written in 2010 by Marion Licchiello --- New York
If you find yourself in the same relationship difficulties with different people, over and over again, you might be going to the EGO. Consider that it is not them... Consider that it might be you. You might be wrong. If you just think about it for a moment and make one change, it might change your whole life and all of your interactions with others. It's okay to be wrong. I believe it is Wayne Dyer that says something to the affect of
would you rather be right or would you rather be kind
I'm not sure if that's exactly what he says... but you get the drift.
